Grand Opening

[mrcoffeejones.livejournal.com]

When: December 31st, 2011 (Wibbly!)
Who: Ianto Jones mrcoffeejones/OTA!
Where: The Vortex Cafe - Venice Beach, CA


What:

It was finally that time when Ianto felt the cafe was ready and there was one way to open it, to open it on a popular night for a party crowd that loves to either drink or get stoned. New Years Eve was perfect for that and they will all be clambering for a chance to try to sober up a little bit.

There was swing music playing from a band that he hired outside and everything was just prefect. There would be no 'coffee' drinks that had little to no coffee in them in this shop. He's sure the fine people in California would love it this way. He's there in a suit and tie, he's not about to give them up and a cup of Blue Mountain in his hand. It was perfect and he's excited to see if his friends would show up. He knew they would. He wanted Jack to be proud and he was proud of the diner that he turned into a cafe.

So with the key in his hand he went to go open the cafe doors for the first time to the public. "The cafe is now open."

"I wonder if you could try to get him to eat a vegetarian diet. I don't think we need him insulting anyone for eating something sacred." He figured the meta-meta wouldn't take any religious or any other human or non-human sensitivities to heart.

The pets of the HUB appreciate not being looked at as food.

"At least he's kept away from anything sentient." Ianto begins to head out from behind the counter. "The crowd is dying down so we can go back out."

Andrew snorts at that. "I seriously doubt he'd take to it. He ate a package of beef burger raw, did I ever tell you that? The boy likes his meat."

He follows Ianto out into the open, and whistles for Märet's attention, holding the mug up to show him why he wants him. The meta-meta comes zipping over, wanting to check out whatever Andrew is promising him.

"Nope, but the thought is rather stomach churning. At least it wasn't rancid." Ianto shudders and he sighs. "It was worth an effort to suggest it. Then again there's the 'meatless' meat. I guess he will know the difference."

He looks at Maret and he holds out the tray of biscuits for the meta-meta to enjoy with the mug of hot chocolate. "How are you enjoying things Maret?"

Märet shrugs. "It's alright." Truth be told, he's sort of bored by all this hobnobbing - not that anyone cares to hobnob with him. All there really is for him to do here is eat, which he's done with aplomb but which can't keep him occupied forever.

He takes the cocoa and several biscuits with a little smile - then, at a look from Andrew, says, "Thanks." Andrew smiles approvingly, looking to Ianto as if to point out how well-trained Märet is now.

He figures there's only so much one can do and its not exactly the most exciting for some. The live music is a nice touch but even then people simply are stopping to try the coffee at the new cafe. "You're quite welcome Maret."

He looks at Andrew and he nods his head and he's impressed at how well Maret has came since he first came here. "I hope you like it, Maret."
